My Interests

From the author of the Buddhist discovery novel, "Myth Shattering," we now present Timothy Harada's "The Collected Writings From Soka University of America," Volume I: "Speaking Truth to Power." In the first volume, "Speaking Truth to Power" Timothy Harada dissects every aspect of US culture, life and US foreign and domestic policy, from mass imprisonment of minorities, the corporatization of the media and politics, the destruction of one of the largest industries in the US during the 1930s, hemp, to the training of Latin American death squads in the US, the selling of crack cocaine by the US government and the housing of terrorist training camps in the US. As any true patriot would, Timothy questions in a Socratic way every action of his government and the citizens of his nation, in hopes of transforming the current nefarious dealings of his government and people and making the US and the world a better place for all conscious and concerned human beings.

"Nichiren wrote that wrath can be either good or bad. Self-centered anger generates evil, but wrath at social injustice becomes the driving force for reform. Strong language that censures and combats a great evil often awakens adverse reaction from society, but this must not intimidate those who believe they are right. The lion is a lion because he roars (Daisaku Ikeda, 'Planetary Citizenship' Pg 40."

I'd like to meet:

Musicians and writers who want to change the world with their music and writing

It's about time!
Opposition party questions the official conspiracy theory of the US government about 9/11 in the Japanese parliament.

There needs to be more debate in all governments, especially in the US government. What presidential candidate is bringing up this issue? That's the only one I'll vote for.

Music:

David Bowie, Duncan Sheik, Tori Amos, The Indigo Girls, Suzanne Vega, Cyndi Lauper, Howard Jones, Julian Lennon, Tears For Fears, Vienna Teng, and many more!

Movies:

Gandhi, JFK, Eric Brockovich, Conspiracy Theory, Loose Change, and many more..

Television:

Sucks. Throw away your TV and read a book

The people who are resisting the illegal occupation of Iraq are normal, everyday people. They are not terrorists; they are not Islamic fanatics. If a foreign army was occupying the US to steel our resources, wouldn't you resist them? Meet the real resistance in this movie! I would like to meet people like this.

Books:

Daisaku Ikeda's books are the best.

Heroes:

Malalai Joya, Daisaku Ikeda, Naomi Wolf, Ehren Watada, Noam Chomsky, Helen Caldicot, Nichiren Daishonin and more!! Lately, I can't get enough of Naomi Klein and her absolutely incredible book, The Shock Doctrine and the Rise of Disaster Capitalism. Yes it is truly THE CENTURY OF WOMEN, when incredible women like her break apart all the bullshit that men like Chaney and Bush have created.
